not sure what the factory boot protector is?? its the wire itself that is burning im not sure where to route it... right now im going between the block and the manifold.. can i go around the manifold and lay it on the heat shield?
If i remember, it routes all by itself in a metal sleeve that bolts to the block ( i think #8 is the same way), you can route it anyway it will work the best. On the boot, its a factory metal sleeve that snaps over each boot to keep them from burning.

If you can't route it stock, you might consider some heat reflective tape, some of the Accel fiberglass boots ( I have had good luck although they are bulky). Summit also sells a heat insulator jacket for plug wires. This is in case you can't get it routed like the factory. Mine had a 90 degree metal boot on the boot and it was routed in a metal shield mounted to the side of the block. I have both of those things off a 96' Firebird LT1 and am not using either one on my application if you need them and all else fails.
